Distributed-Parameter Variable Delay Lines Using Skewed Turns for Delay Equalization

Delay equalization of distributed-parameter delay lines is accomplished by a new method making use of skewed turns in the winding. A simple analysis of the basis for the use of this method of equalization is given, and the performance of experimental variable delay lines is discussed. A brief survey of the artificial-line delay-equalization problem is given with a discussion of some of the alternative methods of solving the problem.
